- | **This demonstration involves high voltage.** It's very easy to get some quite unpleasant shocks from this demo so take caution. Short the electrodes together immediately before you touch the machine at all times. Additionally, take caution when setting the electrode distance. If the electrodes are left very far apart, it's not known how dangerously high the potential can get. Since it's a very small amount of charge at a very high potential we don't know exactly how dangerous this is, but you wouldn't want to find out first-hand. | + | **This demonstration involves high voltage.** It's very easy to get some quite unpleasant shocks from this demo so take caution. Short the electrodes together immediately before you touch the machine at all times. Additionally, take caution when setting the electrode distance. If the electrodes are left very far apart, it's not known how high the potential can get. Quite likely, much too high.
